What if Petunia married a biochemist, and Harry grew up reading science and science fiction? Manga-style adaptation of the popular fan fiction by E.Yudkowsky: "Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality". Read left to right.
The original fanfic is complete at https://hpmor.com'
From the author Eliezer Yudkowsky:
This is not a strict single-point-of-departure fic - there exists a primary point of departure, at some point in the past, but also other alterations. The best term I've heard for this fic is "parallel universe".
The text contains many clues: obvious clues, not-so-obvious clues, truly obscure hints which I was shocked to see some readers successfully decode, and massive evidence left out in plain sight. This is a rationalist story; its mysteries are solvable, and meant to be solved.
All science mentioned is real science. But please keep in mind that, beyond the realm of science, the views of the characters may not be those of the author. Not everything the protagonist does is a lesson in wisdom, and advice offered by darker characters may be untrustworthy or dangerously double-edged.
